Psalm 42:1-2 says ‘As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God…’

DAILY READING; Acts 16:1-15; Judges 2-3; Job 34-

Tommy Lee Osborn was an American Pentecostal televangelist, author and teacher whose ministry greatly manifested God’s miracle-working power.
T.L Osborne and his wife Daisy got married in 1941, at very young ages, when Tommy was only 18 years and Daisy was 17.
They immediately began working as evangelists and in 1945 they headed out to India as missionaries. But they failed to make any impact on the people of India because there were no miracles or signs to authenticate their preaching of the Gospel..
They lasted less than a year in India and returned back home to America, desperately seeking the power of God. They read biographies, books, sermons, searched the scriptures and prayed for power. .
After attending a meeting by a woman named Hattie Hammond, the Osborns were deeply stirred and when they returned home they prayed late into the night desiring an encounter with Jesus. The next morning at 6:00 am T. L. Osborn woke up and saw a vision of Jesus that changed his life forever. T.L Osborn testified that Jesus stood in front of him and his senses were completely overwhelmed. From that moment on, T.L Osborne wanted only one thing – to see the glory of Jesus manifested in his life.
As he and Daisy continued seeking after God, they eventually encountered the power and glory of God that they had long desired.
The manifestation of the power of the Spirit brought them to global recognition and led to the establishment of their worldwide ministry.

Psalm 42:1-2 says ‘As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God…’

The truth is that we cannot give what we do not have. To see revival and the manifestation of . miracles, we must be willing to pay the required price of fervently seeking God until we receive His power.
To succeed in life and ministry, our hearts need to hunger and thirst for a divine encounter that will revolutionize our lives.
Every great man and woman ever used by God to manifest great miracles, all came to a point of spiritual ‘desperation’ in seeking after God, until He revealed His power to them.
Likewise, if we desire to see the manifestations of signs and wonders, our hearts must greatly pant after God.
Every prize demands a price, and progress in life calls for a pressing in.
There are wonderful things to be had in the Spirit, but we must press in to where they are. There are mighty manifestations of power and glory, miracles signs and wonders, awaiting us when we pay the price to diligently seek after God.

As a child of God, you are meant to live an amazing life. You are to be a sign and wonder to your world. You are not to live an ordinary or mediocre life. You are the light of your world, a city set on a hill that cannot be hid. Men are meant to look up to you. They are meant to come to you for answers and solutions, you are meant to rule in the midst of them and be the head and never the tail. However, all these will only come into manifestation when we pay the price of pressing into the depths where the power of God is.

Indeed a desperate desire for the power of God is the gateway to receiving the anointing that will announce us to our world.
The truth is that none of us can accomplish much in God’s Kingdom, without the power of the Spirit at work in our lives.
Therefore, as we launch out into this new year, let us make up our minds to seek God with greater zeal and passion.
As our hearts desperately pant after God, He will certainly release to us the anointing that will establish us as signs and wonders to the world.

PRAYER; Lord, Please grant me renewed appetite and zeal for Your Anointing. Please enable me to always give the study of Your Word, prayers and praise, top priority in my life, so that I can constantly be empowered to do exploits on the earth in Jesus Name.
